   Did it on 2 systems so far.   
   Test system went fine.   
      
   Production system I updated all patches first, did a reboot and then   
   went for SP1.   
   Funny thing was, it still listed the patches I had just installed as   
   being not installed?   
   Checked the SP1 and those same patches again box and 30 minutes later   
   with one reboot it was done.   
   I don't think it actually re-installed the other patches the second time   
   because it went too fast.   
      
   Working fine here.
